Abolish the BBC

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

For a number of years the BBC has been pushing it's own agenda rather than acting as an impartial National Broadcaster. Also, the Licence Fee is archaic and allows them to intimidate and bully the people of this nation.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Revoke the BBC's royal charter.
